“Hands-on” interaction is defined as active personal physical involvement by the CE activity participant.
The CE activity must include actionable learning objectives that are measurable and linked to the job tasks typically performed by R.T.s as determined by the ARRT® task inventories.
- Examples of psychomotor objective verbs: build, create, describe, display, distinguish, explain, identify, modify, perform, position, practice
- Example actionable learning objective: After completing this activity, the participant will be able to display proper collimation techniques when performing a pediatric abdomen exam
There must be ample time allowed for each CE activity participant to demonstrate skill development for each actionable learning objective submitted by the CE Sponsor.
To receive CE credit for the “hands-on” portion of a CE activity, the CE Sponsor must identify a maximum number of CE participants that may earn credit during the CE activity offering. This standardization should be based on the average time utilized by a number of learners to complete the measurable and actionable learning objectives.
Notes:
- The use of simulation in a CE activity to provide the participant with an opportunity to gain identified psychomotor skills is acceptable.
- CE credit awarded for didactic components and psychomotor components of a CE activity have the same per unit of time value.
- This policy is not applicable for academic courses with a psychomotor component.
